Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort Launches Redesigned Web Site Per Consumer Feedback Complete With User-Friendly Attributes
Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort has launched a new Web site, www.sandestin.com, offering users first-hand accounts, true-to-life photographs, and enhanced versions of existing features including virtual tours for each section, special packages, photo libraries and an interactive events calendar.
Destin, FL (PRWEB) July 1, 2007 -- Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort introduces a new, more easily navigable Web site with dual-purpose: www.Sandestin.com will increase online conversions while also familiarizing future guests and curious consumers with its one-of-a-kind offerings. The redesign implements feedback from consumers and online experts, as recorded in a usability study, and places an emphasis on descriptive content and photographs and efficiency.
Immediate and noteworthy changes include the incorporation of the current Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort brand campaign, In Our World; three new flash videos taken from the award-winning Sandestin video magazine and the launching of a new online booking engine. Return users will enjoy a new four-click reservation process.
The usability study revealed the need for less copy, more imagery, and ease of navigation through a single toolbar; all techniques encouraged and now implemented to give consumers a sneak peak into the unique atmosphere, various village neighborhoods, pristine beaches, famous Destin golf courses, and other offerings through first-hand accounts and true-to-life photographs.
The site also includes enhanced versions of existing features including virtual tours for each section, special packages, photo libraries and an interactive events calendar.
Coupled with Sandestin's fruitful Paid Marketing, or Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaign, which has seen an 8 to 1 increase in return-on-investment in just nine months, the new site will bring even more productive results to the resort's online marketing initiatives.
"The new site is another example of Sandestin's ongoing efforts to provide excellent customer service to our guests, from the first click to an unforgettable stay," said Rob Babcock, vice president and general manager of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
The new site, www.Sandestin.com, was completely redesigned by Brulant, Inc., a premier online solutions expert that fuses leading-edge technology with breakthrough interactive services including internet marketing and creative design.
